Apple has added a barcode system to iPhone displays to prevent manufacturers from falsely claiming faulty screens, which reportedly cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars. The barcode, consisting of two QR codes, is etched into the glass at different stages of manufacture. The smaller code helps track allegedly faulty displays, while the larger code identifies genuinely defective ones and allows Apple to determine which manufacturer supplied them. The implementation of the barcode system has reduced the failure rate of iPhone screens from 30% to 10%.
